This is the story of my life in Buffalo, N.Y. where I write and draw. I am finishing up the biography of the great American pianist Leonard Pennario, a massive project I began 11 years ago when I had the unbelievable good fortune to get to know him. I also love to sketch.
The blog on this page features my adventures in art and other things. The Music Critic blog -- click the link on the right and down a bit -- has my thoughts on music. Thank you for visiting!

The patron of pawnbrokers

It is funny how you think you know a lot and find you know nothing.

For instance about St. Nicholas, whose feast day is Dec. 6, the day that is just ending, I had no idea who he was the patron saint of.
